"Grand Muscadet in a Bottle"

“This 2014 captivates with the intensity of its nose, which balances smoky and yellow fruit notes. On the palate, the same aromas unfold, enriched by riper notes of peach and apricot. A mineral finish adds three-dimensional depth.” (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) A complex and striking wine that’s clearly meant for the dinner table!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 17/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1 (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

This 2014 captivates with its intense nose, a blend of smoky and yellow fruit aromas. On the palate, these same aromas unfold, enriched by riper notes of peach and apricot. A mineral finish lends three-dimensional depth.

About the estate:

In the Muscadet region, Frédéric Lailler continues to forge ahead, using organic farming methods across the estate’s ten hectares. The quality of the vineyards is truly impressive (six hectares on the gabbro soils of Gorges and one hectare in the granite-rich area of Clisson). The average age of the vineyard is around 65 years. With prices ranging from 7 to 14 euros, you’ll want to act fast to build up a good wine collection.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

A fine expression of the 2014 vintage—fresh and vigorous. A hint of fizz will dissipate after decanting. Cool, briny flavors stimulate the nose and palate. Still energetic, it develops honeyed notes as it ages. Best enjoyed with a meal!

About the estate:

Frédéric Lailler kept the estate’s name as a tribute to its former owner, Michel Brégeon, who, in 2011, passed on to him his vineyards—with an average age of 65 years—spanning the Clisson (granite) and Gorges (gabbro) regions. Two village wines are showcased in these flavorful, easy-drinking whites, whose dynamic richness makes them invigorating—a far cry from the restrained Muscadets.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 92/100

Estate Rated 3 (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

From the Gorges Cru in Muscadet, this wine has now reached maturity and demonstrates just how well a great Muscadet can age, although it still has great potential for further development. It has lost some of its fruitiness but has gained a creamy, nutty character. Its acidity and freshness are still very much present.

Review and comment by Mr. DOMINIQUE R. Posted on March 17, 2021

A wonderful discovery! A bit reserved on the nose when first opened, but much more aromatic the next day. On the palate, it’s well-structured with lovely body, but you can tell this bottle hasn’t reached its full potential yet—I’m placing another order. The next one will be opened in a year or more… if I can resist the urge to taste another one!
